Hi! I am building my first PC and I have a question in regards to the Asus Z97-A motherboard. I plan on using the Intel i5-4590 which does not support overclocking. Now the only reason I am planning on getting the Z97-A rather than the H97 is because of the amount of connectors included on the Z97-A board. Now I know the Z97-A is an overclocking board with lots of features for it but I have no intention to use them at the moment for this build(maybe in the future with another CPU). How do I make sure that I wont accidentally overclock something and wreck the CPU/components? Basically how do I make sure that the overclocking features remained disabled with the Z97-A? Will the board automatically try to overclock RAM/CPU right out of the box?
